Steve175 January 3, 2013 Share January 3, 2013 Looks great but 1 question: after letting all that life flourish in your fishless 40G, why not add it to your new system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktoriia January 3, 2013 Author Share January 3, 2013 We did, we used about 60% of the water to seed the tank and scooped up most of the sand as well. I had purchased a lot of live rock and switched out the better pieces to design the landscape i was looking for. The sump is full of rock as well. Right now the 40 gallon is complely full of rock. both tanks have a healthy amount of tiny brown starfish and copepods. The rock we had in the quarantine are also in the 40 gallon. Those rocks developed alot of algae during the hypo stage. Now all the critters are feasting on it. Luckily the pistol and emerald crabs are in the new system. The only invert that is missing is my Pom Pom. hopefully he will make an appearance in one of the tanks. I will keep the rocks cycling for another two weeks waiting to see if I can find him. If not I will breakdown the 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viktoriia January 4, 2013 Author Share January 4, 2013 The blue hippo and yellow tang developed a good appetite for it. There are a few nubs growing on the live rock. I may need to increase their portion size during feedings so they would let them grow out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktoriia January 12, 2013 Author Share January 12, 2013 We just purchased some periwinkle snails and each morning we see one or two crawl out of the tank and dry out on the outside glass of the tank. Our tank is rimless any way to get them to stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
